Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations that all pupils will try their hardest to learn well and build up what they know and can do.”
- “Pupils fulfil these expectations.”
- “They typically improve in their learning and development during their time in the school.”
To improve
- “Some pupils misbehave because of their needs.”
- “However, a few pupils in this group find their reading book too hard.”
- “This is because the reading book which their teacher has given them does not match what they know about phonics closely enough.”
